about virtual machine software, see the technology brief titled: "Server virtualization technology for the x86-based HP BladeSystem and ProLiant servers," available at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01067846/c01067846.pdf. The appendix contains a brief description - HP ProLiant DL288 | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructu - Page 3
describing entitlements such as power allocation, processor and memory requirements, PCI Express devices (local I/O), network connections (distributed I/O), and storage. The logical server is managed in software. This could be software local to the platform as firmware integrated into the hardware - HP ProLiant DL288 | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructu - Page 4
machines are within a physical resource pool or on a discrete server, as shown in Figure 1. • HP Insight Dynamics - VSE software-software to assist with creating and managing logical servers.

-tosite, using a CMS. After resource pools are logically grouped, a logical server could be moved beyond the boundaries of its physical resource pool for planned upgrades or disaster recovery solutions. In addition, HP Virtual Connect enhances the capabilities of virtual machines. Virtual Connect - HP ProLiant DL288 | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructu - Page 6
HP is uniquely positioned in the industry with its partner relationships, broad portfolio of in-house technology, and professional services HP solutions alone or by incorporating partner solutions. HP delivers software that can manage all logical servers encompasses the physical part of the platform. - HP ProLiant DL288 | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructu - Page 7
. Insight Dynamics - VSE further expands on these capabilities by adding support for ProLiant and BladeSystem c-Class servers, adding new logical server management, and adding improved tools with linkages across the HP portfolio. Insight Dynamics - VSE links with Virtual Machine Management and - HP ProLiant DL288 | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructu - Page 8
in the data center. Logical servers are a powerful way to deliver some of these benefits such as resource allocation for balancing workloads and seamless moves from test or development servers to production servers. With its logical server capability, HP is providing a unifying solution allowing - HP ProLiant DL288 | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructu - Page 9
